Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

Zhou's mother made a joke, with a hint of sourness in her tone.

"Mom~"

Zhou Shiyang's face turned red in an instant. He said uncomfortably: "I really like Yaqing, but Yaqing just has a good impression of me. This time I came back to visit my relatives, and she agreed to let me visit her home tomorrow to celebrate the New Year. To be honest, I am very happy."

"You think the girl is sending you a signal, right?"

Zhou's mother's face was full of smiles.

Zhou Shiyang nodded: "Yaqing must be willing to be with me officially, so she agreed to let me go to her house to pay New Year's greetings to the elders!"

"Okay, since you like it, mom and dad will naturally support you, but you have to treat the girl well!"

Zhou's mother instructed.

"I will."

Zhou Shiyang said: "I had a crush on Yaqing when I first met her in Qiaoxingtun. Now that I am officially her date, I naturally have to cherish her and treat her well with all my heart."

After hesitating for a while, Zhou's mother finally asked the question in her mind: "What happened to her previous boyfriend?"

"Zhou Shiwei is such a big mouth!"

Zhou Shiyang expressed his disdain for his cousin Zhou Shiwei, and then said: "Mom, you just need to know that Yaqing's previous boyfriend was a scumbag."

"You don't plan to talk more?"

Zhou's mother asked.

"Speaking of which, that is Yaqing's private matter, and I shouldn't say it out loud. But if you really want to know, I can tell you, so that you don't have any misunderstandings about your future daughter-in-law."

Zhou Shiyang looked a little serious. He said, "Yaqing is very simple-minded. She always considers her ex-boyfriend for what he wants... But when he found out that something happened in Yaqing's family, he proposed to break up with her. He also deliberately distanced himself from Yaqing and started dating the daughter of the captain of the village..."

Zhou Shiyang didn't say anything more, and Zhou's mother seemed to be thinking about something. She asked again: "Did the girl's family conditions were good when she went to the countryside?"

"I heard from Yaqing that her father was the chief engineer of the research and development department of the steel plant. When her mother retired due to illness, she was also an intellectual. Their family lived in the western-style house area of ​​the steel plant."

After a pause, Zhou Shiyang continued, "The winter of the year before last, Yaqing was taken home from Qiaoxingtun by her eldest sister-in-law and second brother. By then, her family had recovered from the low point. In a correspondence last year, Yaqing mentioned that her father also served as the deputy director of the steel plant."

Zhou's mother: "How many people are there in that girl's family?"

Zhou Shiyang: "Mom, you are not checking the household registration, are you?"

"What do you mean by checking the household registration?"

Rolling her eyes at Zhou Shiyang, Zhou's mother said, "I was just asking around. Didn't you tell the girl about our family's general situation? For example, how many people are there in the family and what their occupations are."

"Yaqing never asked me these questions. I only briefly mentioned them in the letter."

Zhou Shiyang said calmly, "As for how many people there are in Yaqing's family, she did tell me when we met this afternoon."

"Then why don't you tell me quickly!"

Zhou's mother urged.

Zhou Shiyang felt helpless. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Yaqing's mother passed away two years ago. Now, besides her father and her, there are her eldest brother and his wife, as well as two younger brothers and two younger sisters. By the way, last year Yaqing's eldest sister-in-law gave birth to twins, which are two new members of their family."

"More than our family's population."

Zhou's mother gave birth to three sons. Zhou Shiyang has two older brothers, both of whom are married. Among them, Zhou Shiyang's eldest brother and his wife currently have a son and a daughter, while the second brother has no children yet.

In terms of population, Zhou Shiyang's family is indeed not as large as Qin's.

Well, this only refers to Zhou Shiyang’s father’s side of the family.

If we count Grandpa and his wife Zhou, Zhou's father's brothers and sisters, and their respective family members, then the population of the Zhou family is undoubtedly much larger than that of the Qin family.

By the way, Zhou's father is the head of an important department in Beijing, and Zhou's mother works in a hospital in Beijing, and her position is also not low. As for Zhou Shiyang's brothers and sisters-in-law, they all have good and excellent jobs.

"Compared to our entire Zhou family, Yaqing's family doesn't have as many people as ours."

Zhou Shiyang said with a smile on his face.

"That's what you said."

Mother Zhou nodded, and then asked, "I just heard you say that the girl's sister-in-law gave birth to twins. Could it be that their family, or her sister-in-law's family, has a twin gene?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shiyang was stunned for a moment and said, "Yaqing's younger brother and younger sister are twins, but her eldest sister-in-law gave birth to twins."

Zhou's mother was instantly overjoyed, thinking that after Zhou Shiyang got married, he might give her a pair of granddaughters or grandsons who looked exactly the same.

Well, she would be just as happy if she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!

"What does that girl's sister-in-law do?"

Zhou's mother asked Zhou Shiyang out of curiosity.

"doctor."

Zhou Shiyang said, "Mom, don't call Yaqing that girl anymore."

Giving Zhou Shiyang another big eye roll, Zhou's mother said, "I know, I know. How about I call your girlfriend Xiaoqing or Qingqing?"

"It's all right."

Zhou Shiyang smiled and said, "Mom, Yaqing said that her sister-in-law's medical skills are very impressive. She was seconded to the military hospital in Beijing a few years ago and performed surgery on several heavyweight senior doctors."

"..."

Zhou's mother was stunned.

"Mom, did you hear me?"

Zhou Shiyang didn't wait for his mother to say anything for a long time, and couldn't help but raise his hand and wave it in front of her eyes.

"Could Xiaoqing's sister-in-law be called Song Lan?" Without waiting for Zhou Shiyang to respond, Zhou's mother said, "It must be Comrade Song Lan! Recently, all major hospitals in Beijing have organized medical staff to watch the video of Comrade Song Lan performing surgery.

Each hospital sent its key personnel to the Military Region General Hospital to watch Comrade Song Lan perform surgery on the operating table. I had the opportunity to go there, but unfortunately I caught a severe cold the day before and had to rest at home the next day, so I had to give up the opportunity. "

Speaking of this, Zhou's mother's tone was full of regret.

"Yaqing didn't mention her sister-in-law's name to me."

As Zhou Shiyang was speaking, he saw that Zhou's mother was obviously a little excited, and asked involuntarily: "Mom, you seem to be extremely impressed by Comrade Song Lan you mentioned?"

"Of course!"

Zhou's mother said: "Comrade Song Lan is very good at both Chinese and Western medicine. Not only am I impressed by Comrade Song Lan's medical skills, but even many experts in Beijing are impressed!"

Zhou Shiyang: "But we are not sure now that Yaqing's sister-in-law is the Comrade Song Lan you mentioned, Mom."

Mother Zhou glared: "What are you talking about? Based on what you said before, I can confirm that Xiaoqing's sister-in-law is Comrade Song Lan. If you don't believe it, you can call Xiaoqing to confirm it."

"This...isn't right!"

Zhou Shiyang hesitated.

"Don't you know Xiaoqing's home phone number?"

Mother Zhou raised her eyebrows.

"I……"

Zhou Shiyang really didn't know what the Qin family's landline number was. He had never asked Qin Yaqing, and Qin Yaqing had never told him. Naturally, he was stumped by Zhou's mother's question.
